I switched to zim years ago and found it has all the features that I need but is much faster and I think easier to install (though I haven’t installed either for some time). https://zimfw.sh/

Whenever there are stories about bushfires in Australia there is inevitably discussion about how the regeneration is amazing and how fires are part of the ecosystem. While this is true to an extent, it is important to point out that in rece

This is really cool, one thing that would make it much more useful for me is to have the ability to easily select which project you want to use, especially if it could have the same fuzzy search as resources. My company has hundreds of GCP

I found that liquibase doesn't really support rollbacks, particularly with mysql as you can't do transactions for schema updates, if the migration fails in the middle of an update it just gets left in a half-updated state.

I tried using wanderlog on a recent 4 month long trip and it became totally unusable after adding maybe 2 months worth of things to it. It has some really baffling UI/UX decisions too, like not showing the address of accommodations, ju

I'm surprised that more comments aren't mentioning this. I've recently moved from a stack managed by AWS CDK to one managed by Pulumi on GCP and the difference is stark. The building blocks that AWS provides allow spinning up

This is great, I don't have a concrete use-case right now but can definitely see myself returning to this in the future. One thing that would be handy is having a way to either accept a ffmpeg cli command, or convert from a cli command

FWIW I found the whole video quite interesting, I had never really considered that there could be sound recordings from before anyone had thought of a way to play them back. Though I do remember an old mythbusters episode [1] where they tes

Yep, looking good now, thanks! Other datasets that don't have CORS headers still don't work ie. https://sql-workbench.com/#config=%7B%22plugin%22%3A%22Datag... but I'm guessing that's inherent limitation

Sorry, it seems to still be happening, running: SELECT count(*) FROM 'https://data.quacking.cloud/nyc-taxi-data/yellow_tripdata_2023-01.parquet'; Shows the error: Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same

This is great, I've been meaning to build something similar for some time. I tried to run the queries from the tutorial but hit lots of CORS errors loading the datasets, is there any way that you have found to work around those?

Have you tried getting in touch with GCP to see if they would refund the charge? I've heard plenty of stories of cloud services refunding large one-off accidental spends like this one.

As I was reading this I was thinking to myself "I wonder if it is grammarly related" because I experienced a bug some time ago that presented itself in a similar way. It was impossible to reproduce but affecting lots of people int

Not sure if you're thinking more of an official standard but PouchDB is open source and sounds similar to what you're talking about: https://pouchdb.com/

I've bookmarked this to check out on the desktop later because it looks like it could be exactly what I've been looking for for a while. But being on a laptop right now I have to say it is a very frustrating experience as there ap

This looks really cool, one note on the homepage though - the volume on the intro video is really really low, I had to crank my system volume way up to be able to hear it at all.

While that is obviously rorting the system, isn't it kind of ideal from a carbon capture perspective? One of the big problems with planting forests for carbon capture is that they often burn down, and even when they don't, the nat

Seems like some pretty dubious claims. If the bike was more efficient than a normal bike it'd be pretty easy to demonstrate that by having the same rider ride the same course on the NuBike and a normal bike.

This is really cool, one nitpick on the basics tutorial though. It could be confusing for beginners to write `select distinct(event_type)` because it makes it look like `distinct` is a function, and makes it looks like distinct only applies

Yeah we're noticing issues too. Able to only intermittently load the status page and AWS console.

This is really interesting, one question that comes to mind is whether popular discussions will become stressful for the original two people as others create new threads off certain comments. It seems that you would either have to ignore th

Hi Edwin, I appreciate you offering. I did message support about this but it pretty quickly hit the limit of the time I was willing to put in to try and retrieve the money we lost (which wasn't all that much). It is one of those things

I also had issues with stripe's automatic tax. We use stripe's subscriptions with free trials but don't collect credit card details up front, preferring to make sign up simple and low friction. Automatic tax is charged at 0.5

I didn't really think it was necessary to provide a source as it is literally as simple as googling "nsw population", "melbourne population", and "australia population". The results of those are a little o
